The Pelican Brief Book Review
Adaptations: The Pelican Brief (1993)
Publisher: Doubleday
Characters: Darby Shaw, Gray Grantham, Thomas Callahan, Fletcher Cole, F. Denton Voyles
Genres: Fiction, Novel, Legal thriller,
Review:
I really liked A Time to Kill and although Pelican Brief is only my second book by Grisham, it still wasn't that great. It's story is well developed and told, with (mostly) interesting characters to sympathize with. I liked the fact that the swearing was pretty mild here, unlike other excellent books which just have too much swearing for comfort. On the other hand, it wasn't all THAT thrilling, and in some parts the story just dragged on a bit, albeit it was still interesting. So in the end, a good, but not great, legal thriller. 6/10 or in the case of Goodreads, 2/5.
